Macerata Buon'Estate – Performing Arts Review

A week of performing arts at Palazzo Buonaccorsi

In July, the 18th-century Palazzo Buonaccorsi in Macerata becomes a distributed stage for Buon'Estate, the performing arts review that brings dance, music, storytelling, and children's theater to the most fascinating spaces of the historic residence. The shows take place in the refined Sala dell'Eneide and in the courtyard of the palace, creating an intimate and unprecedented dialogue between the audience, the artists, and the architecture of the Macerata historic center.

A project by the Municipality of Macerata with AMAT

The review is promoted by the Municipality of Macerata together with AMAT (Marchigiana Association of Theatrical Activities), with the support of the Region of Marche and the Ministry of Culture (MiC) and in collaboration with the local reality Lagrù. It is now a well-established event in the cultural summer of Macerata, the capital of the homonymous Province in the Marche region, and is part of the broader program of Summer in Macerata.

Between big names and theater for the little ones

The program alternates proposals for adult audiences and a day entirely dedicated to children, "Il Cortile delle Storie" (The Courtyard of Stories), with theaters from around the world taking turns on stage. The hallmark of the review is the quality of research: choreographers from the contemporary scene, new voices in Italian songwriting, and storytellers capable of reinventing the great classics follow one another in a compact format, where listening and closeness with the artists become part of the experience.

Macerata, city of stages

Buon'Estate confirms Macerata's vocation as a city of theater and live performance, from the Sferisterio to the historic theaters in the center. Attending a show in the courtyard of Palazzo Buonaccorsi, under the summer sky of the Marche, is an intimate and evocative way to experience the city's heritage in a contemporary key.
